About this Training Course
Petrophysics remains a vital component to many facets of the petroleum industry, from quantification of hydrocarbon reserves to developmental strategies to real-time decision making for reservoir navigation.
Targeted at awareness to knowledge level, this course addresses the tenets of petrophysics and formation evaluation, using integrative perspective of multiple datasets, including geological, geophysical, and logging and core data. Significant worldwide case histories are included, as well as several exercises designed to provide hands-on experience.
This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format.
By attending this course, the participants will be able to:
- Understand better the latest geological, geophysical, and logging/core technologies and their role in petrophysical analysis, formation evaluation, and reservoir characterization.
- Address the pros and cons of key datasets, with emphasis on need for integrative studies and calibration of datasets.
- Apply quick-look qualitative techniques as well as quantitative aspects to understand vital aspects such as volume of shale/clay, porosity, permeability, and water saturation determinations.
- Select tool combinations to resolve key issues and for specific applications.
- Assess uncertainty in petrophysical measurements and techniques and its influence on reserve estimation.
This course is recommended for development and exploration geologists, petrophysicists, log and core analysts, geophysicists, petroleum engineers, managers, and technical personnel.
